>completely non-directive approach in which the client brings about change on their own.
in this thread we have a large discussion about how is impossible a non-directive approach. my conclusion is that is only some kind of politically correct term. literally the only work of a therapist is her direction, is to be the director of that change in the other. the authority figure who ultimately know what it is. the non-directive approach is some kind of necessary lie to dont expose psychology therapy as some kind of manipulative game. nor for the patient nor for the therapist. to evoke some calm neutral safe place that dont exist.
